Need help on speaker choice

Need advice on speakers (all used)
1) Bohlender Radia 420
2) Acoustat spectra 11 or 22
3) Carver Amazing III
4) Apogee Cepheus 6 or Slant 6
I have always preferred planer/esl sound.
System as follows:
Carver C-1000 (300 watts @ 4 ohms)
Panasonic H1000 dvd/cd
N.E.A.R. PS2 powered sub
use = 70% music 30% home theater
Any help is appreciated as I will be living with my choice
for a long time.
Thanks,

The original Martin Logan CLS (before they beefed up the panel to handle more wattage) is still generally considered to be a reference against many should be compared. Ocassionally found used for under $2000. They really are wonderful.

I have owned Martin Logan Request, Acoustat, Klipschorns, Carvers, Infinity, ETC. I will tell you that with a good powerful amp, I wish I still had my Carvers. I am currently set up with an M&K home theater which is amazing but for my 2-channel listening the carver was the best. Hope this helps.

I owned a pair of Accustat 11s. The planar element is sweet, sweet, sweet.

The bass module sucks, sucks, sucks.

And the transition between them is like a fast ride down a rough country road.

What is our room size as that will have an effect on your speaker choice.
